Anyone else feel really isolated from the rest of the queer community when they started transitioning?

I guess it's just kind of like, I don't deny that passing gives me a lot of advantages, but it also renders my trans experience pretty invisible, which can be quite detrimental when it comes to things like for example reproductive care discussions.

Do they think I suddenly went on T and now I'm a man and don't need any support? Like hello!! I'm still trans! Just because I'm not getting clocked by transphobes when I walk down the street 95% of the time doesn't mean I'm not trans! I still need a lot of the same support other trans people do! I still get death threats and insults and experience microaggressions and can't find a doctor most of the time who knows how my body works. There have been times I can't find treatment at all! I deal with medical costs cis people don't have do and field questions and hate cis people will never experience. I wish people would understand this. Maybe I "look like The Enemy TM" or something. But I'm not. I'm just looking for camaraderie and support like any other person who's trans.
